F2 Lookup values are cut off upon the underlying field length when using the drop-down instead of the full F2 Lookup window

Details

F2 Lookup values are cut off upon the underlying field length when using the drop-down list instead of the full F2 Lookup window

[STEPS TO PREPARE]Although it is possible to replicate the behavior also with a longer field it is recommended to create a new user defined field with character 51. Log in with master rights2. Right Click on the primary view > New Field 3. Button New Fielda. Field Name = UDEF5b. Description = UDEF5c. Character Len = 5d. OK4. Place the field anywhere on the primary view and double click on it 5. OK (as no changes or adjustments are necessary)6. Rebuild and re-login 7. Open the F2 Lookup window on the new field UDEF58. New Button > Enter C0// Client Test >> OK9. New Button > Enter C1// Client Project >> OK10. New Button > Enter P0// Prospect Test >> OK11. New Button > Enter P1// Prospect Project >> OK12. Cancel (so the field is still blank)[STEPS TO REPRODUCE]1. Open the F2 Lookup Window on The field UDEF5 For Example via the right arrow or F22. Verify the displayed lookup values

[RESULT]- The values appear correct and complete- When a value is taken over For Example via double click on it or Highlight > Select only the part before the // will be taken over into the field

3. clear out any possible value in the field4. enter C into the field >> this will let appear the Lookup drop-down for the specific Lookup values starting with C5. Verify the displayed lookup values

[RESULT]- The Lookup values are cut-off after the 5th character, this means upon the length of the underlying field, although the real Lookup value would be only C0 or C1 - When a value is taken over For Example via selecting the value with the keyboard or mouse, the correct value before the // will be taken over into the field

Resolution

[CAUSE]- This is RM 230098[WORKAROUND]1. Open instead the full F2 Lookup window For Example via the right arrow or F22. Start typing the first desired character on the F2 Lookup Window and the first matching row will be highlighted within the list3. Enter the second desired character on the F2 Lookup Window and if applicable the highlighted row will change to the first matching record within the list. If there is no matching record the current row remains highlighted

For Example

1. Open instead the full F2 Lookup window via the right arrow or F22. Enter p - the row P0//Prospect Test will be highlighted

3. Enter 1 - the row P1//Prospect Project will be highlighted

[ADDITIONAL NOTE]- On typing errors or in order to get back, the BackSpace key needs to be pressed as many times as characters where already pressed
